6. Drew Brees Chases Johnny Unitas

New Orleans' Drew Brees has thrown a touchdown pass in 43 consecutive games, just four games shy of the standard set by Baltimore Colts Hall of Famer Johnny Unitas from 1956 to 1960. He threw 14 TD passes in the last three games of 2011 alone, adding seven more in two postseason contests.

Brees also produced the most accurate passing season in history last year (71.23 percent), breaking his own 2009 record (70.62). With similar production in 2012, he'll leap past Chad Pennington (66.05) to claim the most accurate career in NFL history. Brees has completed 65.94 percent of his career attempts.
